Hi. The keyboard on my good old MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009 is worn out. I almost tap through some of them when writing, (and forget where the letters are…).
Is there a way to change some of them without changing the whole upper case ([linked product missing or disabled: IF161-089])?
Best, Steinar
Is this a good question?

If the caps are worn you can pop them off and replace them independently. Follow this YouTube on how to pop them off Popping the keycap and you can order the caps from here TheBookYard or PowerBookMedic.
If the switch unit for the given key is unable to make contact so you don't get the letter or digit to show on the screen then you'll need to replace the complete top case. Follow this IFIXIT guide MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2008 and Early 2009 Upper Case Replacement or MacBook Pro 15" Unibody 2.53 GHz Mid 2009 Upper Case Replacement depending on which model you have.
